On the Front Lines of Human-Orangutan Conflict Mitigation
The Leuser Landscape in Aceh Province is home to some of nature’s best work. This area is known as a biodiversity hotspot, with the rich forest ecosystem serving as habitat for a number of endemic, globally-valued species such as Sumatran Orangutan, elephants, rhinos, and tigers. Unfortunately for the past two decades, these natural assets have been facing persistent destruction because of widespread land conversion, illegal logging, hunting, and poaching. These practices have triggered human-wildlife conflict, especially between Sumatran Orangutan (Pongo abelii) and rural communities.
